Pros

Some of the people you work with are great. If you work hard, there can be room for growth. There is some opportunity for training.

Cons

The badge reports at corporate are a joke. Everyone feels like they are treated like children and there is no trust between employees and upper management. One minute late and you are meeting with your Director to explain why. And there is no excuse good enough for Dish for being one minute late. They have 3 strikes and you are fired rule. Late 3 times in 3 months and you are gone. No matter what your reason may be, and weather is not an exception. There is little communication between teams resulting in frequent similar projects that should have been only one. Advancement for women in IT is impossible, with blatant nepotism going on. The few women who have advanced are either incompetent or friends of someone higher up, causing resentment of everyone below them. If you do get the opportunity for a promotion, you get a flat 10% raise regardless of the position or what the median pay is for Denver, making you the lowest paid person on the team. This also causes resentment as you are then working just as hard as your co-workers for substantially less money. If someone is hired from outside at the same time as you transferred, you can guarantee they were hired for at least 20-30% higher pay than you.

Dish- a good company getting better!

Pros

Dish is still a pretty young company that is growing up to be better in every way possible. I've seen a lot of small changes from management that are making this a better place to work and think they are very committed to getting better over time. It hasn't been easy, but have had a great career experience and learned and done more than about any other place I could have landed. If you like a fast paced, results oriented company where you can grow if you do great work, then I recommend Dish as a great place for a career.

Cons

Dish has never tried to be a great place to work for everyone and sets up a work environment and compensation/benefits plan so employees join for opportunity, not a ton of perqs. I wish they would invest more of the profit they are making into attracting and retaining the great people they need for the future.
